WHO WE ARE

Transportation for Michigan (Trans4M) is a statewide coalition working to create a stronger Michigan through transportation policy reform that will revitalize Michigan’s cities and towns, reconnect its people to opportunity, and spark a healthier economy.  Trans4M coalition partners include nonprofits, businesses, policy makers, environmental groups, planners, academic institutions and others.

Our Mission

We are a diverse coalition of groups working together to make Michigan communities more livable, create equitable opportunities for all people, and build a more robust economy through transportation policy reform.

Our Vision

We envision statewide transportation policy that is set by Michigan residents, including those who are traditionally disenfranchised by transportation decision-making. These citizen-driven policies will result in a safe, connected, convenient, reliable, and equitable 21st century transportation network that includes a full range of transportation choices providing opportunity for all people, connecting people to where they want to go, reducing costs, and offering businesses viable options for efficiently and sustainably moving goods.
